About this campaign

Simss story began about 13 years ago when I found him as a tiny kitten in a wet cardboard box in an abandoned house. From that moment on, he literally lived snuggled, inside my warm hoodie his entire kitten life even into his adult years. Ever since then, he has helped me emotionally survive some of the most difficult moments in my life.

Lately, Sims has been drastically losing weight in a very short amount of time.
The Vet I contacted recommended a physical, bloodwork panel, x-rays and treatment if needed. I feel extremely helpless because I can’t afford his veterinarian appointment to even start this process because I don’t have the funds. My serious physical health issues overwhelm my life and prevent me from working.

Also two years ago, my older brother killed himself without warning. And
since then, I have moments of deep sadness that spirals into a dark
depression due to this profound loss. And Simba notices my tears falling
and instantly comes to cuddle with me, almost as if to say, “I know your
soul is deeply hurting and I’m here for you.”

I am a liver transplant recipient and also suffer from late Stage kidney disease. I’ve had many surgeries in my abdomen over the years to save my life. These have taken a toll on my body and I'm unable to work at all. Simba means the world to me so I'm trying to save him.
